Some observations about AOO 4.1.10 and Windows 10 Pro 21H1

Hello,

On a fresh installation of Win 10 Pro 21H1 and AOO 4.1.10, I was able to observe:

1.
In the Control Panel (in german: "Systemsteuerung") under "Programs and Features", when trying to repair the AOO installation by clicking on "Repair" (above the list of all installed programs), an error message appears prompting you to exit the OO Quickstarter. However, the OO Quickstarter is not running at all.
(Workaround is to click on "Change", then you can choose "Repair" in the installer dialog afterwards).

2.
JRE 1.8.0_291 is not recognized by OO and cannot be activated - even if I first install JRE and then AOO it is like this.
(In the forum http://de.openoffice.info it is however reported by a user that he uses 1.8.0_291 in AOO 4.1.10, perhaps the problem occurs only with 21H1 of Windows 10).

JRE 1.7.0_71 on the other hand is recognized without problems (even when installing after AOO) and can be activated.



greetings,
Jörg

I can see absolutely no problem with AOO detecting Java:

https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/Windows10_AOO_JAVA.png

Oracle Java 7 and 8, alongside with AdoptOpenJDK 8 an 11. And yes, this
is Windows 10 21H1.

The problem seems to be that Oracle changed the compiler beginning with
Java 8 Update 261:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/crashes003.html

A quick fix is to install the "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for
Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" (32-bit):
https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

All of my machines had this already installed so I couldn't recreate the
issue until now.
For older versions we shipped msvcr100.dll with AOO, now we may need a
newer one.

   Matthias

and then?

... well, I started Windows in safe mode, AOO still does not recognize JRE 1.8.0_291.


I had also, already yesterday, repeated the installation of Windows and JRE and AOO (in VMWare) and can only write that the problem is clearly reproducible with me. Why it occurs I do not know.

I have read through this, but this does not apply to me, because there were no problems with the download and installation, also Java 1.8.0_291 is entered in the SYstemsteuerung as "activated".

On the command line (cmd.exe), returns:

Java -version

the display:

java version "1.8.0_291"



Jörg


Note:
that Java 1.8.0_291 is not recognized by AOO is annoying, but no problem, because the other Java version is recognized. Also, I do not use Win 10 productively, but only for testing, so I am not dependent on it.
My thread here was _not_ intended to _ask for support_, but I wanted to report the problem with Java, since Win 10 21H1 is fairly new and I thought the problem could be general, especially since my system was installed very fresh.
However, it seems that the observed problem is not general, but occurs only with me (for whatever reason), so we can put the discussion to sleep.

Could it be that JRE 1.8.0_291 is blocked? Cf. e.g.

Hello Jörg,

please look under C:\Programme (c86) or the corresponding directory for
a directory java.

Maybe the JRE is in anther directory depending where you get the windows
binary from.

Kind regards

Mechtilde

Yes, I know that and I use the correct file:

jre-8u291-windows-i586.exe


No idea why it does not work. Also my Windows installation is newly created (I use VMWare for testing).

JRE 1.8.0.291 (32 bits) works perfectly on my Win 10 21H1 laptop and is recognized by AOO 4.1.10
Make sure that you download the i586 installer
